Elizabeth Catlett: “A Black Revolutionary Artist and All That It Implies”

The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois
August 30, 2025–January 4, 2026

Boldly delivering messages of resistance to oppression, Catlett (1915–2012) created prints and sculpture inspired by the militant art of Mexico (her home beginning in 1946), German Expressionism, and African forms. The 100 works here underline what organizers call “the significant role this revolutionary artist and radical activist played in her time and the influence she still has today.”
